My neighbor confronted my b/f saying my ex roomates (free loaders) told her that he was in prison for being a child miolester which isnt true. Our neighbor said it in front of other people & said she would plaster his picture everywhere. I would be upset also, but its totally untrue. Can we get our ex roomates in trouble legally?

Maybe he should file a police report NOW, for verbal assault or harrassment or something, and explain what's going on. Don't make them arrest her or anything, just explain that you're worried she's going to run around town posting flyers and you want to start a paper trail on her. That way, if she DOES post false information about your guy, the police will have it on record that she threatened to do it.

Yes, if they in fact did so, but only civilly, for they committed no crime. Your b/f can sue them for slander, as they publicly stated he committed a reprehensible crime. Howver since he suffered no actual damages & your freeloading ex roomates probably have no assets from which to collect a judgment, what lawyer do you think is going to take that case?

If you can get the neighbor to repeat the statement under oath, maybe, but it sounds like hearsay if the neighbor has no other witness to corroborate her statement.

I wouldn't spend any more time worrying about it because your neighbor has probably done this before and folks who know her know she mouths off like this. So just go about your business and ignore your neighbor.

IF THIS CRAZY LADY PLASTERS PICS OF YOUR B/F AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD,THEN YES,THERE IS SOMETHING HE CAN DO.WHAT YOUR EX ROOMATES SAID IS HEARSAY,BUT IF YOUR NEIGHBOR TAKES IT UPON HERSELF TO DO THAT,THEN SHE WILL PAY THE PRICE! GOOD LUCK HUNNY!
